[Elecraft] K3S relay noise when using Rx ANT IN port

[Petr, OK1RP/M0SIS]

Just FYI,

as Pablo, EA4TX confirmed the relay used for T/R switching to bypassing FEL
while radio is transmitting has operating time in between 5-7ms and
releasing time even 7-10ms if parallel diode is used.

So it is not usable on CW ...if your K3 will start transmitting first
element previously then FEL limiter is bypassed the RF power from K3 can
damage the limiter. 
If your K3 will be back in RX mode again faster then FEL released to
protection path then your K3 is not protected during that period...
